Psalm 24 Verses 1-2

The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,
    the world, and all who live in it;
² for he founded it on the seas
    and established it on the waters.

Sometimes I think that we believe that we made the earth and it is all there for us to use. We create factories that pollute the air. We dump sewage in our rivers and streams and destroy forests and wildlife. We can do that…we are in charge. But we didn’t make the earth. Ii is just on loan to us. We are supposed to take care of it not destroy it. When are we going to wake up and understand that we are stewards not owners.

Prayer: Thank you gracious God for the earth that we live on. Remind us that we are to care for all of creation. Help us to be co-creators with you and not destroyers. AMEN
